35f3d14dbb pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes
This patch adds F_GETPIPE_SZ and F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl() actions for
growing and shrinking the size of a pipe and adjusts pipe.c and splice.c
(and relay and network splice) usage to work with these larger (or smaller)
pipes.

2c53d9109f relay: fix for possible loss/corruption of produced subbufs
Fix possible loss/corruption of produced subbufs in
relay_subbufs_consumed().

When buf->subbufs_produced wraps around after UINT_MAX and
buf->subbufs_consumed is still < UINT_MAX, the condition

	if (buf->subbufs_consumed > buf->subbufs_produced)

will be true even for certain valid values of subbufs_consumed.  This may
lead to loss or corruption of produced subbufs.

74019224ac timers: add mod_timer_pending()
Impact: new timer API

Based on an idea from Martin Josefsson with the help of
Patrick McHardy and Stephen Hemminger:

introduce the mod_timer_pending() API which is a mod_timer()
offspring that is an invariant on already removed timers.

(regular mod_timer() re-activates non-pending timers.)

This is useful for the networking code in that it can
allow unserialized mod_timer_pending() timer-forwarding
calls, but a single del_timer*() will stop the timer
from being reactivated again.

Also while at it:

- optimize the regular mod_timer() path some more, the
  timer-stat and a debug check was needlessly duplicated
  in __mod_timer().

- make the exports come straight after the function, as
  most other exports in timer.c already did.

- eliminate __mod_timer() as an external API, change the
  users to mod_timer().

The regular mod_timer() code path is not impacted
significantly, due to inlining optimizations and due to
the simplifications.

In relay's current read implementation, if the buffer is completely full
but hasn't triggered the buffer-full condition (i.e. the last write
didn't cross the subbuffer boundary) and the last subbuffer is exactly
full, the subbuffer accounting code erroneously finds nothing available.

20d8b67c06 relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early logging
Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files.  Files
can be initialized later.  This is useful in scenarios such as logging in
early code, before VFS is up.  Therefore, such channels can be created and
used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed.

This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

c9b3febc5b Fix a use after free bug in kernel->userspace relay file support
Coverity spotted what looks like a real possible case of using a variable
after it has been freed.  The problem is in
kernel/relay.c::relay_open_buf()

If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code :

  free_buf:
    	relay_destroy_buf(buf);	<--- calls kfree() on 'buf'.
  free_name:
   	kfree(tmpname);
  end:
  	return buf;		<-- use after free of 'buf'.

I read through the callers and they all handle a NULL return from this
function as an error (and hitting the 'free_buf' label only happens on
failure to chan->cb->create_buf_file(), so that looks like a clear error to
me).

The patch simply sets 'buf' to NULL after the call to
relay_destroy_buf(buf); - as far as I can see that should take care of the
problem.

The patch also corrects a reference to a documentation file while
I was at it.

Note from Mathieu: the documentation reference change should have been
done in a separate patch, but I guess no one will really care.

8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

72fd4a35a8 [PATCH] Numerous fixes to kernel-doc info in source files.
A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
source files, including:

  * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
  * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
  * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
  * reword some text for clarity

23c887522e [PATCH] Relay: add CPU hotplug support
Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something
that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added.

unplug isn't supported by this patch.  The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.

8e18e2941c [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private
The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.
